Now back to chosen generation with Pastor Grace back to generation radio were no topic is off limits everything filtered glasses and my guests joining me from first Liberty Institute and always excited to have him join me as we talked about what's happening to religious freedom here in America and I have to tell you folks. Yes, there is Christian persecution that is happening in our country today and I want to welcome to the program late in one's life and welcome good to have you, sir. I probably got absolutely course well so that you know II think perhaps that because obviously there's been so much indoctrination would have talked with Cece O'Leary with the Southeastern legal foundation just about what's happening on our college campuses and I think a lot of people are aware of that but there's no question that there is a a a level of indoctrination that would lead one to believe that perhaps you know that there really isn't any Christian persecution going on and and that Christianity is supposed to be something that you practice only in your home only in the four walls of your house and and don't ever take it outside anywhere in public and by all means don't let it you know influence how you act how you behave in and what you do Leath and I mean that that is the prevalent atmosphere that is said that that is found itself in an a lot of our of our public squares so that sounds like religious persecution go, and I'm sorry to think over over many years due to court decision than just misunderstanding really good at religion clauses of the First Amendment were gotten gone so far out of our way, trying not to violate that with the clause that we have end up basically violating the free exercise clause are making it almost thought, and it based on convoluted and admit construed interpretation of the establishment clause without causing hundreds of that there would be no official church of the states of America really did you mean the only reason they put that in there was so that the government wouldn't create a state run church chocking right.

Just finished winning a war with Great Britain, the greater part of the world at that point that I had beat her to bring her to attack to support whether or not you were dark whether or not you believe anything was being preached from the pulpit. I didn't want that. There were, there would not be no official state-sponsored church of the federal government to also remember what I wrote, it was only intended to apply to the federal government, ratified the establishment clause of first member 12/13 satanic ritual churches.

Some of them had religious test for office. You had to be a member of that church to hold public office, which is prevented in the general government article. Not until after the Civil War, the 14th amendment and incorporation doctrine basically invented by the court that applied the Bill of Rights to the states.

We gotten so we got so far by way on the establishment clause, but that it been broadened to the point where people think that there is no role for religion in public life and I just not true. Just not accurate. Certainly not what the founders of a new that in order to remain free and immoral people and that that is the role of religion in a free society, the teaching them the encouragement of morality among people. If you have three without morality, there's nothing to restrain the fallen human nature of man and you will end up back in Tierney strong walk last week rich prep for everyone at some point depression gets bad enough that those who are oppressed start crying out for a strong leader to come in and fix everything, and sharing a ride back to attire of the clause was really just prevent their being official state church that everyone have a sport. The free exercise clause about as you are living according to your faith in all aspects of life, not just choosing where your church on Sunday or at your church. All but living out the religious beliefs but you have Google at work, certainly in the home and how you interact with your fellow American that the role of religion in three civil society not a lot has been protected up like the only type of case. The first Liberty handles protecting religious liberty and also because you know we have a Constitution. Unfortunately it it it is been significantly perverted in the last 50 years back, but the original 10 intents of our Constitution was to restrain government not people.

That is not the whole purpose of of of the nation that was created, our founders envisioned the freest nation on earth, but they understood.

As you said so eloquently that you can't have that level of freedom that level of liberty without an underlying foundation of morality that everyone clearly understands and that that morality is a part of the consciousness of every citizen as John Adams.

That's why he made the statement. Our Constitution is fit only for a moral people and and I remind people all the time Leath.

And you know you want to talk about politicians being liars and crooks and thieves and all these horrific things and and I'm not suggesting that we haven't had a lot of that, nor that we don't experience that we don't see those kinds of behaviors and activities. Some of the things that are said in some of the things that are done are the bills that are put into place, but the reality is is they are simply supposed to be a reflection of of you and me of everybody that's listening to the radio today everybody hearing my voice everybody watching me on CEC and CVN and and coast-to-coast so folks it it's it's on us if they if Washington DC doesn't reflect you and I then it's our responsibility before God to put people there that are going to do exactly that. First Liberty is simply wanting to say hey everyone should be able to act according to that conscience that is associated with their belief system of belief in God. Yet exactly right. I think it will writers of the democracy that the American people deserve to get what they want. Get good art here are concerned about.

As you said in your lyre to correct the government to point fingers but we bought building ourselves with people who think like an lawn politics are always downstream of the culture. The you turn your culture into absolute sewer. What do you expect her to write out this is not make a lot of churches not relevant liberty. There we went on occasion we can protect religious liberty in the court all day long. Our ministry is to protect your ministry. We can when you go out and impact culture. The wares poster eventually got a matter yes that's what this is about about protecting your right to then go out and be salt and light will corporate world and make a goal we don't change the world changer corner of an citizenship is about that responsibility.

I mean, you know, people, I mean that's why we have.

There are a lot of these folks that are there that are breaching our southern border that are coming. You know everybody's not part of the cartels. Everybody is not part of the gang are ready we we we know that we know that everybody's not bad.

There are people that are coming but the but the main reason that folks stand in line and follow the legal process to become Americans is because of the eye deals that they that they believe about America and its freedoms and its liberties and when they go through the citizen process the acidity to become a citizen of this country. They learn things for the most part although there been some changes and in some of the others, but they were for the most part, things that a lot of Americans now are never taught in school, but used to be a guide right you know there's there is a big difference between knowing alternate want to want a better life, or when a better life. There is a big difference between wanting to benefit from living in America wanting to become an American, not that the point that you're making about the people that do it the right way. Go through the process and I think we need to make a profit, but the people who want to become country reflect the ideals of the country is founded on and I think the notion of even the whole idea has been denigrated for decades now to the point where it's just been no difference between somebody being a resident being an that idea to having value and having meaning and understanding what it is that there are responsibilities that come along with being a citizen of this nation and maybe more than than others because of the ideals that were countable yet week.

We are here to live in freedom that requires morality like this in certain respect for the rights of others and how we interact away will be able to maintain a level of freedom and prosperity that we have dimension Adams cited Koster for more people talk about freedom being never more than one generation away from extinction.

But couple centuries before that if you go back all that I want the very first congressman wrote the Northwest ordinance to authorize the settling of the Northwest Territories, there's language in the Northwest ordinance says religion and morality are being necessary to good government and happiness of the people system of public education will forever be encouraged. Idea what education are supposed to be creating the next generation of people capable of living in freedom. It was about passing on those things to the next generation but that then turn your letter writing reminded us, we'll pass on what bad that the powder saw at the purpose of education and we gotten so far feel that today look like in our education system is doing just the opposite teacher to dictate this country and not I think are promising a backlash against back now.

School board meetings and speak her mind and holding people accountable for some of the top schools of going to take more than an and then you're saying you know the response you know of of an ideology that says nowhere were going to shut down and indoctrinate organ or organ of force. This anti-God anti-religion in those states as as I did type of ideology that is completely and totally unconstitutional on and let's be clear, that's what were talking about here were talking about the freedom of the free exercise thereof, and, and the the limitations upon the government because it is been determined.

Also there is a case in on time every you might remember the case Layton but there's a case that said that since secular humanism which is innocent. In essence what the government is forcing upon us is in fact a religion that the courts found that it was right and role of government towards religion is generally long the government would be neutral toward a favor one over another, or payable religion over non-religion.

But it shouldn't liberty so they have to your protect children and open forum for debate and discussion of ideas and you can't just exclude religion from that form and wishing that in several we have a cake out of the state Supreme Court about tuition program in Maine state that prayers were the weather funds or people for a high school to use this knowledge of the offender unless they chose to enter a valid court found Mr. and that and hopefully will will will get the decision that you know it benefits all of us, which is the ability to be able to act freely. I asked secular humanism. Actually, in a recent Oregon case November 5, 2014 a federal judge in Oregon.

Judge answer Haggerty cited the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution and ruling that secular humanism was in fact the religions of the government is forcing that honest there violating the Constitution.

Look, I am for marriage between a man and a woman I am for life from conception I am for following the Bible and I believe that our founders started this nation on biblical principles time in support of our military and believe that America should play a role in world security. I believe our Constitution was intended for immoral people and that the Bible contains the only true moral code. I believe we are all born sinners in the God in his grace and mercy, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and that if we will confess our sins, he is just and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe salvation is not just accomplished a little prayer that is found in how transformation is lived out Jesus is to be the Lord of our lives and we should follow local precepts.

This is not legalism or works, but a life lived out in love and honor the one who died for my sins.

Faith without works is dead and is no faith at all. I believe that we will fall and that we need to have a repentant heart that God will ultimately bring us into perfect action. Jesus Christ spirit man perfected and so was man in progress.

I believe that we are not to live in guilt and shame of the fall, but we were pants and get up and move closer to Jesus. I believe that if our nation will repent and turn from wickedness the God will heal our land. I believe that as a Christian I must occupy till he comes and that's a call evil wicked and to warn about those evil acts as a part of the mandated Christianity fits in love also means to be willing to take the risk necessary to confront a friend with the truth in hopes that their heart will be turned because their life matters, even if it means in that moment they will possibly hate me. It means that I must risk scorn to stand for truth and that I can never sit silently by while evil attempts to conquer the world. God is my everything and Jesus is the love of my life that does not make me weak but strong, silent and not fearful, courageous. Therefore, if you're my friend. We may not fully agree know that I share what I share because I care if you strongly disagree with these beliefs.

They are not debatable for me and you can if you choose, unfriend me. I do not say this in anger but in love. I wish for you eyes to see and ears to hear that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and God, not man gets to decide what is truth life and the way God bless you.

And you know folks I tell you the issue of of Christianity. The issue of of the of the role that Christianity is played in our history. I can't emphasize enough when I was listening to life and I was jotting down some notes when you think about what's being perpetrated on our kids today what what is it that they are they are being told write it there being told that that United States is bad, that it was imperialistic that that the that the references of that of the 1619 project references to slavery references to America as as an oppressor as a as a colonizer as imperialistic. All of those things. And yet, the contrast of that and and the realities of it.

Hang on a moment Hank you hang on just a second. I'm right I'm closing out the cigarette beforehand is the second syllable folks, the, the need for us to understand America's Christian and biblical founding is an and to get that back into mainstream education. What it was that we came here to fight against was there and oppression in England was their freedom that people saw when they came here back in the times that they are referring to in 1619. Their focus is on Jamestown and and slave trade that was actually coming from England and let's remember that in total it was only approximately 4% of the entire slave trade found its way into America and America determined to cut off slave trade and not allow any more slaves to be brought to our shores, even before the Civil War was fought so it is important to understand it was Christianity and Christians and Christian that actually put in and to slavery and it's been Christian them that has touched and changed lives all across this country.
